Views & Brews | Pet Friendly, Great Location!

The place was fine, a little older than the pictures would lead you to believe. The biggest problem is that it's for sale, apparently, and they don't tell you that before you get there. They are doing the bare minimum (that's being nice) until it's sold I guess. The hot water heater didn't work from the start, so they sent maintenance to fix it. He arrived in about an hour (5 stars there). He said the thermostat had tripped, so he reset it but he wasn't sure how hot it would get. It didn't get hot at all. Slightly warmer than before but still would've been a cold plunge had I filled up the bathtub. In addition to that, flashlights were provided but none of them worked and there were no replacement batteries. There was a sign next to the wood stove that mentioned the firewood that would be provided, but I had to buy my own. And to top it all off, they called me on the second day there to request I leave the house for an hour for a realtor's showing for a potential buyer (to which I politely declined...). Oh, yeah, there was also a horrible smell to the property when I pulled up. Rotting food, brewing beer, something along those lines. Could not smell it inside the house though.TLDR; property is for sale and Taylor doesn't care about maintaining it until it sells.

The home was great and located in a central part of the lake however there is no AC so keep in mind when booking during summer months.We did find a dead mouse upon arrival in the basement.

Overall, we were pretty disappointed with this property, however, the management company manages a lot of short-term rentals in the area and their part in this rental was top notch. The issues that we had with the property are that it is in our opinion and old, tired property and in need of upgrades. The outside of the property is unappealing, with a dirty exterior and even moss growing in places like on windowsills. And inside it smelled like the owner of many years ago used to smoke and have a dog--faint but present. Also, this unit does not have air conditioning of any kind and finally, the management company has a portal for information and sends out other information by email, making it a little confusing.

We would rent this place again.

The fridge didn’t work. They have an ant problem. Wasn’t clean. Do not recommend.

The house and property were wonderful, but it is sitting close to a very busy road. If you are looking for a place where you can sit outdoors and enjoy the peace of nature, this is not your best choice.

It was a good location close to everything!

1) COMMUNICATION- I emailed Taylor-Made via VRBO on several occasions and they never responded to my online questions. I will never rent from them again. Never sent the address to me or the code to unlock the door. I had to call them ( no answer) to get it. They returned my call within a half hour. 2) The driveway is much steeper then the picture lets on. I would not stay there in winter. The driveway is scary and turning around is impossible. We only had 2 cars, yet they say they can accommodate 3...no way! Might want mow. No fire pit as pictured. 3) NOT CLEAN AT ALL! Dusty, dirty and gross! Mouse droppings... EVERYWHERE! The silverware drawer had mouse poo in it! Needless to say, went out to eat for every meal! Dog hair all over the coach and smells like dog. Was going to use the vacuum to clean the house, it was full of dirt from the last renters ( I assume ). Windows were not clean. JUST GROSS! Why are we paying so much for the cleaning service. Hope the money we paid will make it clean for the next renters...lol 4) NO A/C and NO washer and dryer... I repeat, NO A/C! I had 2 people with medical issues, you would think having NO A/C would have been stated in the description. 78 degrees in the house! 5) Interior- holes in bathroom door. mouse hole? Very dated...light switches don't work, Master bedroom lamp can't plug in. The light socket was tapped over, can't use the end table light. The tubs didn't drain. WiFi doesn't work. Nice deck...lol We left.

It is a beautiful property just needs lots of maintenance. Bathtub drains are clogged. Grass was very high. Weeds growing in the driveway. Very very dusty house. When i made reservation it had AC. When we got there it would not work. I called them and after the lady spoke to me for awhile trying to get it to work. She decided to tell me they dont offer AC there but it was clearly a brand new system that was just broke down and again no maintenance. It even had a sign above the thermostats of how to work it. Beautiful place if they would just maintain the property.

It was perfect. Thank you
